an alternative should only be provided, if a reasonable set of options match. Unfortunately the options for gcj and javac are rather disjunct. For java/gij, Stephen Zander provided a wrapper script. I'd happy to include such a script for javac/gcj as well. > ( The new gettext-0.11 checks for a java compiler named "javac" but it > does not find "gcj". I'm not sure who exactly to blame for this :-) everybody knowing of this and not writing a wrapper could be blamed ;-)
